Saw it last night. Pretty good, although the trailer for Crank got me more excited than any of the action scenes in the movie itself did :dork:

Crank looks like fun though, GG Jason Statham :up:

Michael Mann is a director and a half.

Miami Vice was awesome--the gun battle at the climax was almost as good as the street battle in Heat. The sounds in the gunfight were absolutely incredible (as usual in Mann's work). Colin Farrel and Jamie Foxx didn't have the greatest onscreen chemistry going, but they did drive that hotass Carerra GT around a lot. There were a few times where Mann kept making aspect-to-aspect cuts between a character and whatever that character is looking at, and he would end up lingering on these reaction shots (which had been cross-cut to for the second or third time already) for a few seconds too long... if he had cut down on that a little bit I think that a few pacing issues that Vice suffered from would have been alleviated and the movie would have probably ended being about ten or twenty minutes shorter. But whatever--Mann is the fucking man, and Miami Vice was awesome. A+++ would watch again.

and speaking of trailers, the one for the flick about all the women on earth becoming infertile was pretty interesting looking--looked like it was channeling half life 2 a little bit...

Crank looks good, very different take on just sticking action scenes in your face for once. I dont mind Statham, he seems to be in everything these days. As long as he talks like he does in real life, hes watchable.

One of our clients is doing the game for Crank. I've known about it for about a year but couldn't say anything. /brag
